Newcastle boss Howe tips Longstaff for England

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe feels Sean Longstaff deserves England recognition.

The midfielder was outstanding in last week's Champions League win against PSG.

Howe said: I haven't spoken with Sean in any great detail about the England squad or his dreams and aims, but I'd encourage it for him because I think he is good enough.

I think he's got everything depending on what system you want to play but for us, he perfectly fits the number eight role that we're using him in.

I'd love to see him score more goals and get in more goalscoring positions because I think he is a very good finisher you saw the other night with a really good goal so hopefully there's more to come from him.

But he's certainly done very well at the start of this season."
